As volunteer at a few events and other organizational activities this past year I see how great a job this organizations does not only for the people they directly help with but with the community at large.

As a volunteer, client served, and board member, I can say that this is an organization with staff who go above and beyond for the people they serve. They truly care for and speak for people developmental and related disabilities, which is not found elsewhere in Oshkosh area.
Family Care/IRIS has been challenging for a number of people, my son included. The Arc-Winn. Co. Disability Association has provided invaluable information and support throughout the process.
My son has participated in various activities including Project Art, Game Day, Movie of the Month, and especially enjoys the Halloween and Valentine Parties.

The Great!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

The help I've received through the years with housing issues and Family Care/IRIS has helped us to provide a better life for our son.
I've also learned a great deal about advocacy from the Arc-Winn. Co. Disability Association. It has been so beneficial to our family.

This agency does great work. They have a caring staff who provide services for their clients in many ways. They spend numerous hours advocating for clients and their families. With Wisconsin currently undergoing a drastic change in long term care funding for people with disabilities, the agency has helped to advocate for positive change and as the rules changed they held informative workshops featuring speakers from across the state to help individuals and families make informed choices. They provide planned social experiences for clients and they are available for walk-in crisis counseling. They provide great services on a very small budget.

I have witnessed the growth of clients who now regularly attend meeting and gatherings and have even taken leadership positions in groups run by the agency.

Ways to make it better...

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

More funding and more staff. Too few people trying to do too much work.
